Electoral Democracy
Author: Joo-Cheong Tham
Publisher: Melbourne Univ. Publishing
ISBN: 0522860206
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
A healthy democracy relies on a healthy electoral system. Are the ways we run elections and political parties adapting to contemporary challenges and learning from international experience? Drawing together leading political scientists and legal scholars, Electoral Democracy examines pressing debates about the regulation of political finance, parties and representation in Australia. It does so by testing the system and reform proposals against three fundamental; and sometimes conflicting; values: political equality, liberty and integrity. This book will inform and provoke all who take part in and care about Australia's electoral democracy.

Questions of Accountability
Author: Matthew Flinders
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1509964231
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 343
Book Description
This book explores accountability from a range of perspectives, crossing traditional disciplinary, thematic, and professional boundaries. It asks fresh questions about accountability and its place and importance in democratic societies. Accountability matters. It matters because it connects the governors with the governed, and for this reason it is a hallmark of democratic governance. And yet, amidst a backdrop of concerns about democratic back-sliding, the rise of populism, the role of algorithmic governance, moral barbarism, and post-truth politics - to mention just a few issues - a number of potentially far-reaching questions of accountability have been asked. It is for exactly this reason that this book explores the concept of accountability from a range of perspectives, crossing traditional disciplinary, thematic, and professional boundaries. It asks fresh questions about accountability and its place and importance in democratic societies. The book considers the questions raised by the shifting architecture of accountability. Whilst some scholars suggest that accountability processes have never been so effective -trumpeting the rise of monitory democracy with its dense array of watchdogs, sleaze-busters, auditors, legislative committees, statutory supports, and investigative mechanisms - others express concern about the risk of 'overloads', 'gaps', and 'traps'. This has led to a focus on fuzzy accountability and diagonal accountability, pointing to increasing conceptual confusion. Bringing together world-leading scholars and former politicians and public servants, the book cuts through this confusion and provides the reader with the answers to the most debated issues, including rarely discussed 'pathologies of accountability', post-human governance, and a novel focus on balance and proportionality.

Hazard or Hardship
Author: Jeffrey Hilgert
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 0801469244
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
Today, hazardous work kills 2.3 million people each year and injures millions more. Among the most compelling yet controversial forms of legal protection for workers is the right to refuse unsafe work. The rise of globalization, precarious work, neoliberal politics, attacks on unions, and the idea of individual employment rights have challenged the protection of occupational health and safety for workers worldwide. In Hazard or Hardship, Jeffrey Hilgert presents the protection of refusal rights as a moral and a human rights question. Hilgert finds that the protection of the right to refuse unsafe work, as constituted under international labor standards, is a failure and calls for a reexamination of worker health and safety policy from the ground up. The current model of protection follows an individual employment rights framework, which fails to protect workers against the inherent social inequalities within the employment relationship. To adequately protect the right to refuse as a human right, both in North America and around the world, Hilgert argues that a broader protection must be granted under a freedom of association framework. Hazard or Hardship will be a welcome resource for labor and environmental activists, trade union leaders, labor lawyers and labor law scholars, industrial relations experts, human rights advocates, public health professionals, and specialists in occupational safety and health.

Responding to Change in Jobcentres
Author: Great Britain: National Audit Office
Publisher: The Stationery Office
ISBN: 9780102981292
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 50
Book Description
The Department for Work and Pensions' network of jobcentres has coped well in the face of the economic downturn but it must improve how it tracks and understands performance. In six months (between September 2008 and March 2009), Jobseeker's Allowance claimant numbers increased by two-thirds (from 0.9 million to 1.5 million). The Department relaxed requirements about the activities that jobcentre staff needed to undertake during 2008-09 and 2009-10, which meant jobcentres were able to prioritize checking eligibility for benefits and making sure claimants were paid. However, although the Department has continued to pursue efficiency, variations in case load across jobcentres suggest further gains may be possible. The Department has simplified its performance measures and now primarily targets the move by claimants away from benefits, or 'off-flow'but this gives no information about how individual jobcentres perform in supporting claimants to work. In 40 per cent of cases, the reason for moving off benefits is simply not recorded or claimants may have moved onto other benefits, been imprisoned or ceased claiming without taking up work. The Department has yet to decide how to adapt off-flow measures after the introduction of Universal Credit, which merges out-of-work and in-work benefits. The need to understand performance has been increased by the Department's move away from nationally mandated processes towards encouraging jobcentre staff to tailor support for claimants. While flexibility encourages local innovation, the Department needs to broaden its evaluation of new approaches and improve performance measures if greater flexibility is to lead to better services.
